When you drive up to dirt road that leads to a paid parking lot, you may notice cars parked along the side of the road. It's common for the lot to fill up quickly, so you may need to idle for a while until someone leaves to take their spot. You may also choose to take a risk and park on the dirt road. So far no one has been ticketed from our group, but there are signs warning that it could happen.
MEETING LOCATION:
There's a trail map at the back corner of the paid parking lot, look for us there.
BRING:
✔️Shoes with good tread
✔️Sunscreen, shades, hat
✔️Water bottle
✔️Layered clothing as the temps may be varied
✔️Snacks or a whole bag lunch
✔️A small backpack may be nice to have
KIDS:
Children are welcome as long as they are old enough to keep up on this hike or can be carried on your back
PETS:
Dogs are allowed. We just ask that they be well behaved and not a distraction.
PARKING:
$5 Daily Parking Pass (pay via app)
FORMAT:
12:00pm - Arrive and bring everything you need in a backpack
12:15pm - Circle up for introductions, intention setting and subtle sacrament
12:30pm - Possible movement and mindfulness practice when we find some open green space (Thai Chi or Qi Gong) led by one of our members -- beginner friendly
1:00pm - Hike to midpoint, have lunch / picnic and discussion
3:30pm - Begin return trip back to parking lot
5:00pm - Closing circle and departure
The focus of this gathering is communion with sacrament at a level that everyone will be present and feel more connected to each other and nature.
Expect an elevated mood and sense of well-being.
The vibe will be warm and supportive. We always end up in the deep end of existential topics.
We lead with vulnerability and we welcome yours.
